A complete predicate includes the verb and the rest of the predicate phrase.

A sentence is defined as words meaningfully grouped to express a complete thought. Most of the time, it has a subject and a predicate. In this sentence, the complete subject is ‘loud noises’ and the complete predicate is ‘disturbed the neighbors’. Basically, the sentence conveys the meaning that the neighbors are disturbed by loud noises. All the other choices are phrases or sentence fragments.
